Sinopsis

High in the crumbling Palace of Statues, oily Vox Verlix - nominally the Most High Academe but no more than a prisoner in reality - is brewing a terrible plot to destroy the goblins and the shrykes at a stroke, leaving him free to take over once again. Rook Barkwater, a young librarian knight, stumbles upon the truth when he is taken captive and forced to work for Rook. But can Rook foil Vox's plan and save the lives of his librarian colleagues-? A dramatic and menacing new adventure, illustrated throughout with marvellously imaginative black and white illustrations.

De la contraportada

'I can see you all,' Vox murmered gleefully. 'There is nowhere to hide...'

Dark, swirling clouds loom over the Edge. High in the crumbling Palace of the Statues, little more than a prisoner of the all-powerful guardians of the Night, Vox Verlix watches them. And plots.

A magnificently inventive tale of menace and adventure, Vox is full of exquisite illustrations that bring to life the world of the edge at a time of great peril.

'Appeals equally to boys and girls...stunningly detailed comic fantasy illustrations'
Times Educational Supplement

'Richly inventive...one of the most exciting collaborations between a writer and an illustrator for a long time'
